Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Ehud Barak And His Flimsy Epstein Related Denials
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Today we're going to talk about Ehud Barak, who was
- 0:07Speaker 1: the former Prime Minister of Israel and somebody who was
- 0:11Speaker 1: close to Jeffrey Epstein, at least for a certain period
- 0:16Speaker 1: of time. Now of course, Ehud Barak will tell you differently,
- 0:20Speaker 1: that he was never around Jeffrey Epstein, he was never
- 0:23Speaker 1: around Epstein with young women especially, but the proof is
- 0:28Speaker 1: really doesn't jive up to what he has to say,
- 0:31Speaker 1: considering the pictures that we have seen from the Daily
- 0:34Speaker 1: Mail of Ehud Barak entering Jeffrey Epstein's townhome, accompanied by
- 0:40Speaker 1: young women, to other evidence of people saying he was there,
- 0:44Speaker 1: flight logs, and all of the rest of it. So,
- 0:48Speaker 1: when this was all breaking in the Daily Mail, In
- 0:53Speaker 1: 2016 or so, Ehud Barak came out and said how
- 0:56Speaker 1: he was going to sue the Daily Mail and how
- 0:59Speaker 1: he was going to go after them in a court
- 1:01Speaker 1: of law. And of course, that never happened. Because if
- 1:05Speaker 1: that would have occurred, well, his whole entire shtick would
- 1:08Speaker 1: have been up, wouldn't it? The second you get to
- 1:10Speaker 1: discovery phase, all the bluster, all the BS goes right
- 1:14Speaker 1: out the window. And now you have to provide evidence
- 1:17Speaker 1: for all of your assertions. And of course, he couldn't
- 1:21Speaker 1: back up what he has to say about how, oh,
- 1:24Speaker 1: I hardly knew Epstein. Oh, we were just having some lunch.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Come on, nobody believes any of that. Nobody believes any
- 1:33Speaker 1: of that. Well, maybe some people do, but nobody who's
- 1:35Speaker 1: looking at this with a sober mind and a fresh
- 1:39Speaker 1: perspective is looking at Ehud Barak as somebody who was just,
- 1:43Speaker 1: you know, there for lunch. They were breaking bread and
- 1:47Speaker 1: talking about what the Mets did the night before. Literally,
- 1:51Speaker 1: never happened, okay? You want to talk about never happening?
- 1:54Speaker 1: That never happened. Who knows what these dudes were up to,
- 1:57Speaker 1: but it's not even disputable that they were friends and
- 2:01Speaker 1: that they were breaking bread. So today, we're going to
- 2:05Speaker 1: go back to 2019, and we're going to read an
- 2:08Speaker 1: article from the Times of Israel where Ehud Barak vows
- 2:12Speaker 1: to sue the Daily Mail. Headline? Barack vows to sue
- 2:16Speaker 1: Daily Mail for sordid insinuations over his ties to Epstein.
- 2:22Speaker 1: This article was published on July 17th of 2019, and
- 2:29Speaker 1: the author is staff. Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak on
- 2:34Speaker 1: Tuesday said he would sue the UK's Daily Mail newspaper
- 2:37Speaker 1: for defamation. after it published pictures of him entering Jeffrey
- 2:42Speaker 1: Epstein's New York residence in January of 2016, around the
- 2:47Speaker 1: same time several young women tied to the financier, pedophile,
- 2:51Speaker 1: also came by. So, what are you going to sue
- 2:54Speaker 1: them for? Printing pictures of you hanging out with a pedophile?
- 3:01Speaker 1: Now remember, this is in 2016. This is after Epstein's arrest.
- 3:06Speaker 1: This is after everybody knew what sort of monster he was.
- 3:15Speaker 1: The mail heavily insinuated that Barack's visit to his business
- 3:18Speaker 1: partner was not strictly business related. Well, is it that
- 3:23Speaker 1: big of a leap? Again, what are you doing going
- 3:25Speaker 1: over to Jeffrey Epstein's house? You guys are just breaking bread,
- 3:29Speaker 1: that's it? Chopping it up? Talking about the dailies over
- 3:32Speaker 1: on Wall Street? The photos published by the paper were
- 3:37Speaker 1: not new and were originally published in 2016 under the
- 3:41Speaker 1: title The Busy Life of Jeffrey Epstein. Group of gorgeous
- 3:46Speaker 1: Manhattan it-girls in and out of the billionaire sex offender's
- 3:50Speaker 1: mansion before Clinton pal flies off in private jet with
- 3:54Speaker 1: comely brunette. Look, there's no doubt that the headlines are
- 3:58Speaker 1: sensationalized over in the Daily Mail. But when we look
- 4:03Speaker 1: back on what they reported, did they report anything that
- 4:08Speaker 1: was incorrect here? He was at Epstein's house. Fact. There
- 4:11Speaker 1: was girls around. Fact. He was trying to cover his face. Fact.
- 4:16Speaker 1: So what exactly was he spinning his wheels about and
- 4:19Speaker 1: talking about this defamation nonsense for? Remember now we're in
- 4:23Speaker 1: the year 2022. No defamation has been filed against the
- 4:27Speaker 1: Daily Mail for their reporting here. So he was posturing, right?
- 4:32Speaker 1: Trying to act like, you know, oh, well, I had
- 4:34Speaker 1: nothing to do with this and I'm going to show you. Well,
- 4:36Speaker 1: all these years later, still no receipts and still not
- 4:39Speaker 1: showing us a damn thing. Barack was included among the photos,
- 4:46Speaker 1: but only as an unidentified man who entered the home
- 4:49Speaker 1: accompanied by a bodyguard. Barack's face was partially covered by
- 4:54Speaker 1: a neck warmer as he entered the house, and the
- 4:56Speaker 1: mail claimed Tuesday that he was attempting to hide his features. However,
- 5:01Speaker 1: when he emerged, the gator was on his head, and
- 5:03Speaker 1: his face was visible, putting those assertions in doubt. Or maybe,
- 5:07Speaker 1: just maybe, he thought that the press was gone, and
- 5:10Speaker 1: he figured he could scoot out without having his face covered.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I wasn't there, I wasn't
- 5:17Speaker 1: talking to him and asking him why he had the
- 5:19Speaker 1: gator on his face on his way in, but... it
- 5:21Speaker 1: would make sense, right, for him to think that there's
- 5:25Speaker 1: no press anymore, so I'm going to cruise out how
- 5:27Speaker 1: I want. On Wednesday, Barack posted a picture on Facebook
- 5:32Speaker 1: with his face covered, noting that when it's cold, I
- 5:35Speaker 1: tend to cover my face. Not only in New York.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Until now, I didn't think that was a news story. No,
- 5:41Speaker 1: the news story here is you going into Jeffrey Epstein's house.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You staying there for hours. You being a friend of
- 5:47Speaker 1: his for a very long time. That's the story. Don't
- 5:51Speaker 1: try and dig, dunk, and dodge and act like it's
- 5:54Speaker 1: about your face being covered. That was part of the story.
- 5:57Speaker 1: The real story is the fact that you're still breaking
- 5:59Speaker 1: bread with a pedophile, you're still breaking bread with an
- 6:02Speaker 1: absolute piece of garbage, even though you knew who he was.
- 6:05Speaker 1: And then you have the audacity to come and act
- 6:08Speaker 1: indignant when your picture is posted in the newspaper? Breaking news, dickhead.
- 6:13Speaker 1: That's what happens. The British tabloid noted the women photographed
- 6:20Speaker 1: also entering Epstein's home did it on the same day
- 6:23Speaker 1: as Barack and within hours. However... The mail did not
- 6:27Speaker 1: provide a clear timeline of the photos, and it was
- 6:30Speaker 1: not clear whether they were taken before Barak entered, during
- 6:34Speaker 1: his time there, or after he left. Yo, the Times
- 6:37Speaker 1: of Israel just doesn't want to believe it, huh? The
- 6:40Speaker 1: last thing they want to do is believe that their
- 6:41Speaker 1: homie Ehud Barak is over here dicking around with Jeffrey
- 6:45Speaker 1: Epstein and engaging in Lord knows what. If he was
- 6:51Speaker 1: at the house at the same time as the women,
- 6:53Speaker 1: it could contradict his earlier assertions that he never met
- 6:57Speaker 1: Epstein in the company of women or young girls. Uh, yeah,
- 7:00Speaker 1: no shit. That's why he was so assertive here, right? Oh,
- 7:05Speaker 1: nothing to do with me. This is defamation. Yeah, okay, sure, pal.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Speaking to the Daily Beast, Barack confirmed it was him
- 7:13Speaker 1: in the photos. It is me in the picture, he said.
- 7:16Speaker 1: It was so cold, the Middle Easterner had to put
- 7:18Speaker 1: on a hat. I was there for lunch or chat,
- 7:20Speaker 1: nothing else. So what? So that's bad enough. See, here's
- 7:24Speaker 1: the thing. You don't need to go to the extra
- 7:27Speaker 1: step when you're at Epstein's townhouse, especially after everybody knows
- 7:31Speaker 1: exactly what he is. The real question is, what are
- 7:33Speaker 1: you doing there in the first place? Even if you're
- 7:37Speaker 1: just there to discuss business, I feel like, at least personally,
- 7:41Speaker 1: that that business is tarnished, that that business is all
- 7:44Speaker 1: starting from ill-gotten gains. So that puts you in the crosshairs.
- 7:49Speaker 1: So even if you're just there for lunch or I'm
- 7:51Speaker 1: there for business, well, you're probably there to engage in
- 7:55Speaker 1: some kind of criminal activity. Following the mail's publication, Barack
- 8:03Speaker 1: said he would sue the paper for defamation. Barak rejects
- 8:07Speaker 1: with contempt the sordid insinuations in the story. A statement
- 8:11Speaker 1: from Barak's Israel Democratic Party said, so the party comes
- 8:14Speaker 1: out to his defense, huh? Oh, isn't that nice? Where
- 8:17Speaker 1: have we seen that before? The reality is the party
- 8:20Speaker 1: should be asking these questions and internalizing all of this
- 8:24Speaker 1: and trying to get rid of all the scum that
- 8:26Speaker 1: is rising to the top of their, oh, our favorite party.
- 8:33Speaker 1: The reports and hints in the article are baseless. The
- 8:35Speaker 1: Daily Mail has previously published several false articles such as
- 8:39Speaker 1: this about Barack and about others. Other journalists who looked
- 8:43Speaker 1: into these matters found no evidence to support these lies.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Let's see it. Where's the evidence at? It's your word, right?
- 8:50Speaker 1: These people are saying, oh, there's no evidence here. But
- 8:53Speaker 1: now when we look back in hindsight, how bad do
- 8:56Speaker 1: all of these people look? And that's why we do
- 9:00Speaker 1: these journeys back in time, because there's a lot of
- 9:03Speaker 1: people that still have a lot of questions to answer,
- 9:06Speaker 1: especially considering how upfront they were about their denials, right? Oh,
- 9:11Speaker 1: this could never happen. Well, has somebody asked the Democratic
- 9:15Speaker 1: Party or whatever the hell they are in Israel what
- 9:17Speaker 1: they think now? Barack, who reentered politics this month by
- 9:23Speaker 1: forming the Israel Democratic Party to run in the upcoming
- 9:26Speaker 1: September elections, has come under scrutiny after his continuing business
- 9:30Speaker 1: and personal ties with Epstein emerged last week. So imagine
- 9:34Speaker 1: somebody who's still breaking bread with Jeffrey Epstein after his
- 9:38Speaker 1: first arrest is in the running to become the prime
- 9:41Speaker 1: minister of anything. You shouldn't be in the running to
- 9:44Speaker 1: become in charge of anything besides cleaning the commissary inside
- 9:48Speaker 1: of the pen. Epstein was arrested this month and accused
- 9:54Speaker 1: of paying girls hundreds of dollars in cash for massages
- 9:57Speaker 1: and then molesting them at his homes in Palm Beach,
- 10:00Speaker 1: Florida and New York from 2002 through 2005. The charges
- 10:05Speaker 1: filed in New York could carry up to 45 years
- 10:08Speaker 1: in prison. Barack told the Daily Beast that he met
- 10:11Speaker 1: with Epstein dozens of times, including after reports emerged of
- 10:15Speaker 1: sex parties and orgies at his home, some involving minor girls.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I can't tell you exactly how many times. I don't
- 10:23Speaker 1: keep count. Over the years, I've seen him on occasion,
- 10:26Speaker 1: he said. Dozens of times as on occasion. How much
- 10:30Speaker 1: money has Jeffrey Epstein given you, through shadowy organizations or otherwise?
- 10:37Speaker 1: But the former Premier, 77, said he had nothing to
- 10:40Speaker 1: do with any of those parties. I never attended a
- 10:43Speaker 1: party with him, Brock said. I never met Epstein in
- 10:46Speaker 1: the company of young women or girls. He confirmed that
- 10:50Speaker 1: he had met Epstein at two of his Manhattan homes
- 10:53Speaker 1: and on a small island owned by Epstein near the U.S.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Virgin Islands. He told the Daily Beast he visited the
- 10:59Speaker 1: island once for several hours and years after the publications
- 11:03Speaker 1: about sex parties or orgies there. Oh, yeah. I'm sure
- 11:07Speaker 1: you just went there to check out the beautiful locale.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Let me go hang out on the beach and have
- 11:13Speaker 1: me one of these nice little umbrella drinks as I
- 11:15Speaker 1: sit around and just soak up the sun. I'm sure
- 11:20Speaker 1: that was the motivation for you going down there. Do
- 11:23Speaker 1: these people think we're stupid? I really think they do.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Federal authorities consider the island to be Epstein's primary residence
- 11:31Speaker 1: in the United States, a place where at least one
- 11:34Speaker 1: alleged victim said in a court affidavit that she participated
- 11:38Speaker 1: in an orgy as well as had sex with Epstein
- 11:41Speaker 1: and other people. She said she saw former President Bill
- 11:45Speaker 1: Clinton on the island, but that she never saw him
- 11:47Speaker 1: having sex with anyone. A Clinton spokesman issued a statement
- 11:51Speaker 1: saying he never visited the site. Yeah, everybody's a liar, right?
- 11:55Speaker 1: Except these politicians that have such a spotless track record
- 11:59Speaker 1: of never lying to us. You know, Bill Clinton, a
- 12:01Speaker 1: man of honor, obviously. A man that's never told a
- 12:04Speaker 1: lie ever in his life. On Saturday, Barack said that
- 12:11Speaker 1: he was looking into dissolving his limited partnership with Epstein
- 12:15Speaker 1: after it emerged that the U.S. financier pedophile was a
- 12:18Speaker 1: major investor in the report he's startup headed by Barack
- 12:22Speaker 1: in 2015, seven years after Epstein served time for solicitation. Well,
- 12:27Speaker 1: isn't that nice? Jeffrey Epstein investing in all these companies,
- 12:33Speaker 1: working with people like Ehud Barack. But it's all a
- 12:37Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Epstein had no connections when it comes to
- 12:41Speaker 1: intelligence or the powerful around the world. That's just BS. Reporti,
- 12:49Speaker 1: now called Carbine, develops video streaming and geolocation software for
- 12:53Speaker 1: emergency services. Barack invested $ 1. 5 million in it in 2015,
- 12:56Speaker 1: with much of the money coming from Epstein. Aside from Barak,
- 13:03Speaker 1: the only other investor in the initial funding round was
- 13:07Speaker 1: Israel's economy ministry, which pumped in $ 300, 000, according to reports. Yep,
- 13:13Speaker 1: no ties to any sort of military installations here, folks.
- 13:17Speaker 1: No ties to intelligence. Certainly no ties to the CIA
- 13:20Speaker 1: or the Mossad. How dare you? Barak also received about $ 2. 3
- 13:26Speaker 1: million from the U.S.-based Wexner Foundation, for research from 2004
- 13:31Speaker 1: to 2006, according to reports, when Epstein served on the board.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Right in the middle of his run of molesting people,
- 13:39Speaker 1: by the way. So he was serving on the board
- 13:41Speaker 1: for Wexner, also at the same time, helping to fund
- 13:44Speaker 1: this new company called Carbine. Now, we haven't really dug
- 13:48Speaker 1: too deep into Carbine lately, but a few years ago,
- 13:51Speaker 1: we were talking about this at length. And somebody like
- 13:56Speaker 1: Ehud Barak, he certainly has some questions that he needs
- 13:59Speaker 1: to answer. Barack told the Daily Beast that he first
- 14:04Speaker 1: met Epstein about 17 years ago when he was introduced
- 14:07Speaker 1: by former President Shimon Peres. Once again, another tie, seven
- 14:12Speaker 1: degrees of separation. How many more of these little tidbits
- 14:16Speaker 1: of evidence do you need before you understand what Epstein
- 14:19Speaker 1: was really up to? Do you think anyone is just
- 14:22Speaker 1: hanging out with people like Ehud, Barack, Shimon Peres, Bill Clinton,
- 14:26Speaker 1: Donald Trump? This is a man who was making a
- 14:30Speaker 1: plan every step of the way and had a whole
- 14:33Speaker 1: entire outline that he was trying to fill in with
- 14:38Speaker 1: all of these people that he was acquiring. He said
- 14:42Speaker 1: both Bill and Hillary were at the party as well
- 14:44Speaker 1: as many famous and important people. In 2008, Epstein signed
- 14:49Speaker 1: a non-prosecution deal that required him to admit to a
- 14:52Speaker 1: single state charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor and
- 14:56Speaker 1: register as a sex offender. The deal, which came to
- 15:00Speaker 1: light last year, has come under fire for seemingly burying
- 15:03Speaker 1: dozens of other accusations against the financier pedophile. Epstein served
- 15:08Speaker 1: 13 months in a county facility in Florida as part
- 15:11Speaker 1: of the deal. You notice how the Times of Israel
- 15:14Speaker 1: here just kind of they kind of duck and dodge
- 15:17Speaker 1: around the topic. They don't go too deep into what
- 15:19Speaker 1: Epstein was really up to or to the fact that
- 15:21Speaker 1: he scored this sweetheart deal. Speaking to Channel 12's Meet
- 15:27Speaker 1: the Press Saturday, Barack defended his decision to enter a
- 15:30Speaker 1: business relationship with Epstein years after he went to jail,
- 15:34Speaker 1: even after many of the financier, pedophiles, other powerful friends,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and backers had severed ties. He'd served his sentence for
- 15:42Speaker 1: soliciting prostitution. The indictment didn't say she was a minor,
- 15:46Speaker 1: he said. I mean, for real? You want it to
- 15:49Speaker 1: be the Prime Minister of Israel, and you can't put
- 15:52Speaker 1: two and two together? You dumbass. And the sad part is,
- 15:56Speaker 1: a lot of people believed this at the time, right?
- 15:59Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is just BS. Another hit piece to
- 16:01Speaker 1: try and take down our favorite politician. Until you start
- 16:04Speaker 1: swimming through the muck, and you start getting into the clarity,
- 16:08Speaker 1: and you realize that this is an absolute shitshow. And
- 16:12Speaker 1: this is a criminal enterprise that was intercontinental. It wasn't
- 16:17Speaker 1: just based in New York or Florida or New Mexico
- 16:20Speaker 1: or the Virgin Islands. He had tentacles that reached throughout
- 16:24Speaker 1: the whole entire world throughout using his stooges, right? His friends,
- 16:28Speaker 1: his bought accomplices from Jean-Luc Brunel to prime ministers to diplomats.
- 16:36Speaker 1: This man had his fingers in so many pies. It's
- 16:38Speaker 1: not even funny. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has seized on
- 16:43Speaker 1: the reports of Barack's connection to Epstein, taking to social
- 16:46Speaker 1: media with the demand. Investigate Ehud Barack immediately. Well, there's
- 16:52Speaker 1: not many things I agree with Bibby on. That's Netanyahu, folks,
- 16:56Speaker 1: by the way. Not many things I agree with him on,
- 16:58Speaker 1: but he's right here. Ehud Barack should have been investigated.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Everybody who was involved with Epstein, everybody who got money
- 17:05Speaker 1: from Epstein, they all need to be investigated. I don't
- 17:08Speaker 1: care if you're an ex-president. I don't care if you're
- 17:11Speaker 1: the prime minister. I don't care if you're Lazarus. Come
- 17:14Speaker 1: back from the dead. Everybody involved must be investigated. And
- 17:20Speaker 1: until that happens, we're going to be here running our
- 17:23Speaker 1: big fat yap. All right, folks, it's going to do
- 17:26Speaker 1: it for this one. If you'd like to contact me,
